Buff Brahma X Buff Orpington - Unique chick!

[Sablehaven]

A long overdue update to the Freya situation!

Over the past two years, she has been acting increasingly rooster-ish. She does the food call to the other hens (usually over leaves and twigs), and gets soundly ignored. She is growing spurs. She has that unique way that roosters bluster and fluff as they run away from you, and as of the past four months, she is starting to "crow". She is really bad at it.

My other rooster mostly ignores her, with occasional and brief attempts to mount her that she entire receptive to. She was laying eggs for a few months after I noticed her rooster-ification, but has definitely stopped.

Some updated pictures:

It looks like she has quite the comb and wattles going on there as well. Have they always been that big?
